$E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures(JUN4) (NQmain.US)$ To put it blun...

razo2 : the reason why there are people shorting is because we have people that see data and know things are not going well and there are people that FOMO buying the dip. if this rally say hypothetically speaking goes back to 16000 inflation will be back on the table like and the fed will increase the rates way above last FOMC meeting.

456632345 : Nor is it necessarily true that NQ has few trading opportunities below 10700, which indicates that sellers are unwilling to sell at such a low price, and buyers are willing to buy at 10700. Only then will the price rise. Unless something happens, let the seller sell at no cost.

Falling angel 456632345: So we have to wait for the black swans?

Falling angel razo2: If it goes back to 16000, many short sellers would be dead by then

razo2 Falling angel: takes time for it to happen. we don't know who will collapse big

razo2 Falling angel: then we watch JP give a 20% interest rate with no upside cap. lol. short sellers will take gain/losses and reposition. is not hard playing short, you just need to reposition again take profit before it rally back. the key points here is there are more bad data that supports this bear market such as biggest yield inversion, big credit card debt based on all credit card earnings, low sentiment from banks for future projection, low savings, high inflation, high oil prices, fed government data. the fed government are facing the same exact problem as Paul Volcker which the market choose to ignore him and rally despite the inflation of 20%.

456632345 Falling angel: Waiting for the Black Swan is like gambling

Falling angel 456632345: Right, I thought to myself, what if the black swans don't come?
So I think that's why people are still trying to find the bottom.
Everyone is afraid to miss out; proper risk management and asset allocation are important.
